Slowbro 24/108 · Dark Explorers

Slowbro is Pokédex #080, generation 1 (Kanto). Slowbro is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 100 HP. The card says it evolves from Slowpoke. In this catalog that name is Slowpoke (#079).

Slowbro sits at 24/108 in Dark Explorers, position 24 of 111. Before it is 23 Slowpoke, and after it is 25 Vaporeon. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on May 9, 2012. The printed size is 108. This checklist is longer, at 111 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Airhead is listed as Ability. If you have 2, 4, or 6 Prize Cards left, this Pokémon can't attack. The attack Lazy Headbutt lists 80 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. This Pokémon is now Asleep. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Though usually dim witted, it seems to become inspired if the Shellder on its tail bites down."

Slowbro (#080) has 26 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 22 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Slowbro 43/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 3. 23 other cards of Slowbro list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Dark Explorers set binder is where a full Dark Explorers set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Slowbro can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
